Was shitting bricks for two whole days hoping nobody would snatch these up before I did, and thank fuck no one cared!! PHEW!! Bought both these issues over the course of two days (back to back), for under $20 each, and are now two of the oldest comics I own in my humble little US comic book collection.
Both purchased via eBay and worth every penny to boot! American style for the win!
